Problem: can't create default locations

[sevein]

I can't create a location (e.g. TS) via the API and make it the default location.

The existing endpoint is documented here: https://wiki.archivematica.org/Storage_Service_API#Create_new_location.

I want to add a new parameter default (boolean). When defined and its value is true I want the location to be created and be the default.

For QA, use the examples shared in artefactual/archivematica-storage-service#367 and artefactual/archivematica-storage-service#368 in order to create locations via the API from the command line interface. The only difference would be to add the default attribute as described in this issue, e.g.:

curl -s -d '{
    "default": true,
    "pipeline": ["/api/v2/pipeline/90707555-244f-47af-8271-66496a6a965b/"],
    "purpose": "TS",
    "relative_path": "automated-workflow/foo/bar",
    "description": "automated workflow",
    "space": "/api/v2/space/141593ff-2a27-44a1-9de1-917573fa0f4a/"
}' \
    -X POST \
    -H "Authorization: ApiKey test:test" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
        "http://127.0.0.1:62081/api/v2/location/" | \
            jq -r ".resource_uri"

Then confirm that the new location is the default TS location (you can do that from the web interface).

I tested creating locations of several types (backlog, transfer source, AIP Storage). I also created the actual directories and then using those locations (e.g. to start a transfer, and to store an AIP).
I tested setting locations with default = true and default = false.
All worked as expected.

Note on documention - I updated the wiki with the new Default parameter.

I think the SS documentation on locations could be improved (the screen shot is old and doesn't show the default column).
